What olympic sport has an off-side rule?
English football uses the offside rule where at least on defender has to be between the attacker and the goal.
Is it a goal if there is a shot and it deflects off the defenders hand and into the goal?
If the ball hits a defender's hand and goes into the goal then a goal is awarded.If, in the opinion of the referee, it was done deliberately then the defender would be cautioned. A send off would not be warranted because a goal scoring opportunity was not denied.

How does offsides work in a soccer match?
You are in an "off-side position" if you are: 1. On on the opposing team's half of the field and... 2. Neither one of these things is between you and the opposing team's goal: (1) two opposing players (one is normally the goalkeeper) or (2) the ball.However.....being in an off-side position does not make you off-side (and therefore the referee will not call an off-side penalty on you) until you are involved in an active play. A very good explanation of the concepts of off-side position and off-side can be found here: http://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tips_Dictionary_Terms_O.shtml#offside_rule_detailed That site also includes a good explanation of the exceptions to the off-side rule and since I cannot come up with better wording, here is a direct quote from the site: "Special Cases Where Offside Is Not Called: A player is not offside if he receives the ball directly from a goal kick, throw-in or corner kick, even if he is in an offside position; however, once touched, the offside rule starts and if it is then played to a player in an "offside position", offside may be called. (Note that the offside rule does apply on "free kicks"). A player is also not offside if he passes the ball backward, even if doing so leaves him in an "offside position". However, if he is in an offside position & the ball is played back to him (e.g., a wall pass), then he can be called offside." == == == == Previous answers.....There must be a defender between the attacking player and the goal keeper when the attacking player recieves the ball, otherwise he/she is offside There must be a defender between the attacking player and the goal keeper when the attacking player recieves the ball, otherwise he/she is offside no there must be two players (one of whom is normally the goalkeeper) between the attacker and the goal line WHEN THE BALL IS PLAYED, and if the attacker is in the opponent's half of the field
Can you be offsides on a corner kick?
No you cannot. In order for a player to be offside, that player has to be behind the ball and behind the 2nd to last defender. On a corner kick, there is no way to be behind the ball unless that player goes off of the field.
If you are off the pitch when the ball is played are you offside?
if your behind the last defended in the other team and the ball is played to you then your in offside.
What is offside in football?
In soccer, an attacking player is offside if he or she is in an offside position at the moment his or her teammate plays the ball, and becomes involved in the play. A player is in an offside position if he or she is ahead of the ball and ahead of the penultimate defender. Note that a player cannot be in an offside position on his or her own half of the field, or if he or she is level with the penultimate defender (usually the goalkeeper and one defender, but can be any two members of the defending team) or with the ball. Note that it is not an offense to be in an offside position. To become involved with the play and be called for offside, a player must become involved with the play by playing (touching) the ball, interfering with an opponent, or by otherwise gaining an advantage from being in that position. A player cannot be called offside if he or she receives the ball directly from a throw-in, corner kick, goal kick, or kick-off, nor from a deliberate play by a member of the opposing team (this last bit is the result of a revision effective in 2013, but has nearly always been enforced this way). The reason that these exclusions exist is because the Laws were not written to accommodate tactical errors by the opposing team., and players are expected to be ready for these restarts. In the event of an infraction, play is stopped and restarted with an indirect free kick for the defending team at the location of the offside player at the moment that his or her teammate played the ball (not where he or she became involved with play).
What does it mean if you say a player is off sides in soccer?
When a player is offside it means that they are past the last defender* when the ball is kicked. So for example if we have to teams, blue and red, the blue defenders are all standing in a line, but a red attacker is standing behind them( close to the blue teams goals) and a red teammate kicks the ball to the red attacker. If the red attacker is behind the last blue defender than they are offside if they are standing in front of the last blue defender when the ball is kicked they are onside. It's hard to explain without a diagram. Offsides were created to stop players from just standing near the oppositions goal and waiting for the ball to be lobbed over to them (also known as cherry picking). Offsides are one of the most controversial elements in football as they are easy to get wrong and may result in goals. If a player is offside the opposition gets a free kick from where the player was called offside. Hope this made a little bit more sense. *the goalkeeper is actually the last defender so technically it is the second last defender
What is a off side?
An offside goal is one that is scored by an offside player. If the assistant referee is out of position, he may not realize that the scorer is offside and the goal may stand. Usually, however, offside goals are disallowed and the defending team is awarded an indirect free kick.
What is a off side goal?

In soccer what does the referee do when a player is offside?
Being in the offside position is not an offence. Only when the off side player touches the ball while offside. Then the ref will call the ball dead and a free kick will tack place.
If you are stood behind the goal line can you be in an offside position?
A player that is completely off of the field of play across the goal line is considered to be on the goal line itself for offside calculations. So, yes, it is possible to be in an offside position.
